ANGELA HOXSEY

organizing stylist

"Angela Hoxsey helped me move from a 10,000 square foot house to a 3,000 square foot house. I could not have done it without her. She is professional, extremely organized, fast in thinking and action, wonderful to work with. While I still think that moving is the pits, she tackled it with intelligence and experience."

- Margrit Mondavi, Napa, CA

"Angela is a mighty taskmaster, at once resolute, yet compassionate. She is by my side urging me to make good decisions, helping me to be objective about inanimate objects. Much like Michelangelo felt he was freeing the forms that were already inside the stone, Angela simply chipped away all that was not a part of me."

- Finola Hughes, actress/director

“You can't expect moving to be a pleasant experience but Angela came to my San Francisco residence and assessed what we should keep or discard until my new home was furnished down to a lemon squeezer... I could not recommend her more highly - she makes the process almost enjoyable!”

- Lyndsey Harrison, St. Helena, CA

“Like Tom's mother used to say, "You're a god-damned jewel!"

- Nancy Seaver, Calistoga, CA

“Angela was integral to our on-site organization, prior to a major anniversary year at Robert Mondavi Winery. She seamlessly went through our closets, attic spaces and every imaginable bin... she was able to work without our parameters and still keep our records up to date with over 50 years of material. Angela is a God send!”

- Sally Campion, Robert Mondavi Winery

“Angela is, quite simply, a force of nature. She cleaned out and organized our stuffed, messy garage in less than 8 hours... We were stunned and still go to the tidy garage to gaze in amazement. We recommend Angela unequivocally... She is the epitome of professionalism and a whirlwind of energy. Worth every penny and more!”

- Bob and Lynn Lieber, St. Helena, CA

SUMMER 2025

KEEP YOUR COOL

Summer, especially early summer when the heat hasn’t started to feel oppressive or scary, is my favorite time of year. I’m past the intense yard clean-up and the obligatory seasonal cleaning I hoist on myself each spring. The outdoor furniture is out, the Sunbrella umbrellas and pillows are popping with color and it’s all about celebrating time outdoors. This summer why not:

  • Take a break from organizing and call me to schedule something for the fall when hot weather sends you indoors to revel in some a/c.
  • Take a vacation or a mini break. Twenty-four hours in the city (always much cooler than the valley) can feel as good as a trip to Paris if you plan it right. 
  • Take public transportation. Why not get off the road and onto a train or breezy Bay Ferry?
  • Keep aiming for the shoeless household to cut down on summer dust in the house
  • Change your bedding to linen and lighter colors for an easy summer lift. Which leads me to sleep–make sure you get enough of it and you’ll be so much better at everything else
  • Take a class. What do you want to learn about? For me it’s pest control and irrigation so that next year I can plant a garden that has a chance to make it despite gophers, squirrels, aphids and heat. After the trauma of losing last year’s garden to those issues, I am taking a year off and I have to say, I don’t miss the extra work and I rather enjoy the time in the chill of the Whole Foods produce aisle with its rainbow of dewy vegetables.
  • If you still insist on organizing, mention this post when you contact me and take $50 off your next three hour organizing session.
